What accounts for the difference? Researchers suspect that levels of adrenaline, which can cause the heart to beat abnormally fast, probably shoot up in women when they're upset and in men when they're doing the heavy lifting...

But the bases also could trigger the anger of nearby Russia and China, who have long viewed central Asia as being firmly within their spheres of influence. They might also antagonize Islamic fundamentalists in the oil-rich region. U.S. troops know the risk, and patrol the 16 villages within three miles of the base, trying to make friends...
